Already done. I never used that setting at work. That setting is for fast connections like at home on the LAN.
One thing ThunderBird has that is bandwidth friendly is the ability to configure whether or not a folder is checked for new messages.
Currently, for TB!, it's an all or none thing. The 'refresh folder' option refreshes the counts for all folders. If you have a lot of folders then it's a lot of folders to check. I've been catching it doing counts from 0 on some of the folders. Very time consuming.
With ThunderBird, I have only 4 of my 21 folders checked for messages periodically. Additionally, it checks for new messages very quickly. I don't what it does differently.

I've discovered *that* as well.
